Question

Can one of the owners in Joint Tenancy

break the joint tenancy and sell of gift

their half?



Answer

They sure can, if they can find someone who wants it.



Answer

Either giving it as a gift or selling it breaks the joint tenancy and the owners become tenants in common. Sending an e-mail telling the other joint tenant that you no longer want to be a joint tenant and as of a certain date will not be is also sufficient. But no one will want to buy at a reasonable price a property over which they must first get the agreement of the other owners before they can do anything.
